I wouldn't be opposed to Gragg, but I don't know much about him.

Ross Verba seems stupid to me. He bought a ticket out of Cleveland thinking he could get a big money deal. And now he has no job and is fully prepared to sit out a year until he gets it. Also read how he threw a wet t-shirt party in Vegas and gave away $10k a piece to all the girls who participated because he couldn't pick a winner. So I say no to him.

Chris Terry seems talented enuff, just has had some injuries that I don't think I would go for. But I think I'd personally toss a turnstile thru Tucker's windshield, if he started at RT again. So for a very incentive laden deal, I'd say go for it.

Not sure what other candidates are out there, but if Rogers can't play thru a hangnail, we gotta get somebody who can hold down the fort.

If I go to a verba party I am entering the wet t-shirt concert... lol.

WG, it may have been on purpose, but somebody misspelled lightning. Its lightning not lightening. :D

Not a visual we needed....thanks :bang2:
He's the one who said he was entering the contest. I was only asking the most logical follow-up question.

I somewhat know this player, QD, from when he was a Jint, and had the rep for being a human penalty machine. He's the guy I always think of when Dre's penalties get mentioned, despite the dif in position..because it looked like Gragg would NEVER get it. He jumped off sides so much and had so many false starts, Jints fans called him False Start Gragg.

He DID get it together in SF, evidently, or he wouldn't have lasted so long in the league. But he was with the Jints for at least five years. When he was released it was ostensibly for "cap reasons" but he had worn out his welcome in NY, at that time they had just drafted Petigout and were playing several young players and Gragg had been expected to hold the fort - he didn't. I THINK he was replaced by the nfttv Playbook talking head, Glenn Parker.

Not bashing him at all for stuff from five years back.. I really felt for him, and again, he had to have turned things around.

I remember it being said that his multi illegal procedures stemmed from his knowing he wasn't exceptionally quick or explosive, so he over anticipated and jumped off sides a lot. He seemed to be getting it, took a step forward, and then two steps back.

Mickey was just mentioning how TT is the 'best talent' we have at rt. And that's why Bill finds it hard to give up on him. TT is good sized, and can move..just infuriatingly inconsistent. Gragg is big on top, not built for explosion in the lower limbs, like TT is.

Not a guy who was very known for playing well in space...could not play LT, I know that.

But he had to have gotten the penalty issue together with the 9ers..not sure if he started all his years there or not.

A vet journeyman who learned to live and play with his limitations, and not go penalty wild.

Gosh tho, the abuse he took from Jints fans still bothers me...and I keep thinking if this guy could finally 'get it', Dre will.

I supose he may be better than what we already have but if the 49'ers couldn't use him on their sorry excuse for a O-line then I can't imagine what he can do for us.

I'd rather throw Petitie in the deep end of the pool and let him swim. I think that he'll figure it out in time.
